Thank you for this wonderful episode. These educational episodes are why I keep listening.
I have learned about people who were convinced that they were called to help bring in the second coming. Being very fervent in their prayer, scripture study and devotion to their calling and were led to do horrible things(child abuse/murder) as part of their calling. Their stories have became very public due to the nature of their crimes. I have a hard time seeing that faithfulness with the presence of evil. How do those exist together? Being led by a false prophet based in scripture.
My friend came back to church and asked many people for their understanding on the Word of Wisdom. He said the answers varied enough that he decided to take it to the Lord. He ended up deciding against ALL sodas and energy drinks as well as the general coffee and tea. I served my mission in Japan and we had a very clear line between the actual tea plant as opposed to herbals. I try to simply focus on WISDOM in the Word of Wisdom. Energy drinks, unwise. Typical sodas, unwise. etc.
I notice your translation options f9r different languages. please consider an ASL interpretation. I have a really good friend who would greatly benefit.
I am thrilled at the different language options now, but I would like to ask if ASL could be added to the list. I have a deaf friend who could really benefit from these podcasts. I'd love to share with her!
true
I am a little confused. The Lord says that James Covel broke the covenant that he had made with the Lord. Was James Covel baptized and then, afterwards, left the Church the following day? Was baptism the covenant he had broken or was it just a private covenant that James had made with the Lord?
everyone has had a day like this. no judgement just empathy
Great episode!!
He was my favorite seminary teacher in high school!
she inspired me to " Love " those I minister to.
Hank, I LOVED what you said to the young sisters, who decide to stay home rather than go out and serve a mission. I'm in my 50s now. When I was twenty, I felt so much pressure to serve a mission. I prayed about it, My answer was to stay home and not serve a mission. I have never regretted that decision. I knew that was best for me. Based on comments, I still felt like some friends and members looked down on me because I didn't leave home to serve. Please share this message over and over again.
I'm a faithful listener in the Marshall Islands. Your insights and teachings lift me and inspire me each week. My faith in Jesus Christ is strengthened through study of the scriptures.Thank you for sharing your talents and gifts with us. It helps me hear Him.

That quote from Ezra Taft Benson first came from Glenn Lawrence Pearson: That a man does not understand why they need Christ until they understand the fall. He went as far as to say that one can not understand the atonement without understanding the fall.
I think the correct interpretation of what is meant by "a skin of Blackness came upon them" is the literal..."it CAME UPON THEM," Not "they put it upon themselves." While perhaps they didn't have a word for tattoo, they did have an explanation for the idea. You remember the amalicits placed a mark upon their skin or themselves this was most likely a tattoo. Occams Razor. The simplest interpretation is most likely the correct one. Nephi was smart and wrote plainly enough to say what he meant.
my grandfather Glenn L. Pearson was the first who taught that 2 Nephi 25:23, "after all we can do," had the meaning of "in spite all we can do." I have a research paper that he wrote under the direction of President Ezra Taft Benson in 1981/6 where he taught about justification and the grace of Jesus. He taught Book of Mormon at Brigham Young University for 26 years. and was on the missionary Committee of The Church.
I TRUELY love and learn from your scripture discussions. I feel a (hopefully obvious) need to clarify the discussion on tattoos for today's day. The idea of tattoo's being a way for one to separate themselves from followers of Christ (or Nephi) MAY have been the case back then, but should NEVER be assumed to be the case today. Lead with love, and if there is other intent from the person (with tattoos), let them define it. Never assume you know someone's personal relationship with Christ. ❤️
